Football Poets

70% of our world is covered in aqua
As any well-read scholar knows?
The remainder? By N’Golo Kante, snapping at ya
The moment that first whistle blows!

Sticking it to a fading giant bereft a fight
On a rain-swept Stamford Bridge last night
The home side come to realize their class
Revenge is sweet, so the saying goes,
On a former custodian, once kept […]

none of us can know how it will happen
no-one here is really really sure
we’re struggling now to get our heads around it
and wishing it could be just like before
but after everything that we have been […]

To meet a knight superstar
in childhood in 1985
could be something
fascinating and
obviously exciting

In the April of 1985
I met Platini
He came to Sarajevo
for the World Cup qualifier and
suddenly the […]

The tea-leafing young git
Tried to half-inch our convent school’s kit
In The L.C.C dressing room prior to the game
Stood (like us) in absolute stiches of mirth
As a park keeper sniffed a well-seasoned shirt […]

Leaning down to gather up the sphere
By hordes of baying Blues assembled near
I wonder what Henry, the French ace thought of us?
Poised to take a corner kick
He stood confused at accurately being hit,
By a […]

Knew this fella, knew a fella
Old lags in The Boob together
For a little bit a TDA, while absolutely stocious drunk?
Every Saturday after-noon, in their cell
They joshed each other merry hell
Tuned in to […]

Give us this day our daily red
Our football lives is how we’re bred
The power and the glory of Ian St John
And Liverpool greats now sadly gone
Give us Bill Shankly and Uncle Bob
Who loved our club and did […]

We must unequivocally recognise the wishes of the fans;
who marry at birth
and never divorce;
who wish only to watch and enjoin
with those that truly cherish the crest
and to support forevermore
the heroes […]

Taking in a thrilling match
On a sofa rallying the chaps
Is proper thirsty work most fans agree.

To wet one’s whistle, soldier on
Is a task not to be frowned upon?
This here’s a little interval tip from me… […]

Our…TT’s simply magnifique
Grasped the reins from Frank
Could have had it large at PSG?
But…they ain’t worth a franc
Another Wemberly tie awaits CFC
Implanted in our DNA
What a blinding sight, on a balmy n […]

Gary fancies himself as a poet
weekly he tries to show it
but tonight Gabby guns him down
takes his weekly crown
and out manouvers
gender reprovers….
“there’ll be no quadruple
all thanks to Tuchel!”

Let’s get real
It’s not that Liverpool
Failed to deliver on passes
It’s all down to the fact
Klopp is wearing new glasses!

Covid vaccinations
take place at Stade de France
Without doubt great news
and big hope
But there is potential
melancolic depression
when I think about
the past football matches I saw there
One of those […]

Touching seventy, wizened, livid as sin
Nicotine dentures, knotted scarf, curlers in
By the time, a breath-gasping interval came
Down,”The Lane”, midst an exasperating game
She’d hordes a South West L […]

Talisman Kane,
Yes, him yet again
Steers Ingerland one nil in front
To a cacophony of moaning n groans,
We cringe as a napping John Stones
Leaves us pole-axed to be perfectly blunt
The Three Lions […]

Just off Brisbane Road
Stands a desirable abode
Micky (The Brickie) built himself, from scratch
Though he had a slight conundrum
Him not hailing from East London
Where to go for a few light ales, and catch a […]

“Oi Ginger! Go in goal?
Jimmy, you’re no good so ‘n so
You’re as useful as a fork for sipping soup”,
“But…Enda…”
“Ginger, I know you wanna play full- back
But six-two down, us getting thrashed
You i […]

Potentially the champions
they became the lost generation
forgotten by history

Everywhere the people were
singing Unite Unite Europe

Italy welcomed The Scottish knights
and what potential
Ally […]

A word for Frank Worthington, memorable goals
Elvis in footie boots pure Rock & Roll
A maverick magician with the swag of the street
Got the terrace all thumping and up off its feet
Match of the Day Bolton […]
